“Out of the depths of my happy heart wells a great tide of love and prayer for this priceless treasure that is confided to my lifelong keeping.You cannot see its waves as they flow toward you,darling,but in these lines you will hear…the distant beating of its surf.”-Mark Twain

“We write for the same reason that we walk,talk, climb mountains or swim the oceans — because we can.We have some impulse within us that makes us want to explain ourselves to other human beings.That’s why we paint, that’s why we dare to love someone- because we have the impulse to explain who we are.Not just how tall we are, or thin… but who we are internally… perhaps even spiritually. There’s something, which impels us to show our inner-souls. The more courageous we are,the more we succeed in explaining what we know.”-Maya Angelou

“A writer is a person who cares what words mean,what they say,how they say it. Writers know words are their way towards truth and freedom,and so they use them with care,with thought,with fear,with delight.By using words well they strengthen their souls.Story-tellers and poets spend their lives learning that skill and art of using words well.And their words make the souls of their readers stronger,brighter,deeper.”-Ursula K. Le Guin
